to look for the protocol? Something like:
linkRE = /^https?:\/\/\S+$/i;
If the link is not correct, they will see it in the new window! If you
have the CF advanced book, Ben had a regexp to check url's that took
care of most formats. I seem to remember it didn't validate IPs or ports
but most of the rest. I left my copy at work, so I can't verify.
